Air Products to Showcase Decarbonization Solutions at POWERGEN International in New Orleans, Louisiana

Air Products (NYSE:APD) will highlight how its industrial gases, such as hydrogen, can help the power industry generate a cleaner future and reach its decarbonization goals at POWERGEN International, from Jan 23-25, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

With more than 80 years of industrial gas experience and as the world’s largest supplier of hydrogen, Air Products has the expertise needed to be a decarbonization partner to the power generation industry as it works to transition to sustainable energy. Air Products has publicly stated it will commit at least $15 billion through 2027 to clean energy projects around the world to accelerate the energy transition and build the low- and zero-carbon hydrogen economy.

Those attending POWERGEN International are invited to stop by Air Products’ booth #2644 to speak with an industry specialist and learn more about how power generators can replace or blend natural gas with low-carbon intensity hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions and meet sustainability goals. Air Products’ experts will also be on hand to discuss how power generators can utilize oxygen to improve combustion efficiency, find potential carbon capture and sequestration solutions, or introduce hydrogen to a company’s process to reduce emissions.

Air Products’ Tim Lebrecht, industry manager, chemicals and clean energy processes, will present at POWERGEN International on the topic of “Hydrogen Use Cases and Supply Options,” from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. CST on Thursday, Jan. 25 in Room 207 of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. In his presentation, Lebrecht will discuss Air Products’ approach to natural gas blending, equipment retrofits and integration strategies for hydrogen use. He will talk about how the adoption of hydrogen in power generation will be a phased approach with significant operational variability depending on equipment and scale. Lebrecht also will discuss the potential and optimal approaches to hydrogen supply and operability for boilers, gas turbines, and microgrids using stationary fuel cells/internal combustion engines for long-term supply as well as short-term trials.

POWERGEN International is the premier networking and business hub for power generation professionals and solution providers. Bringing together power producers, utilities, engineering, procurement and construction professionals, consultants, original equipment manufacturers, and large-scale energy users, it serves as a platform to explore innovative solutions amid the shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
